Dutch Grand Prix Winners: Every Zandvoort Race Measured
Guides
Every Dutch Grand Prix winner since 2021, measured: six races, six wins from pole, and the last one at Zandvoort
Formula 1 returned to Zandvoort in 2021 and left again after the 2026 race, the last on its contract. Every one of the six modern Dutch Grands Prix was won from pole. Max Verstappen won the first three at home. Every winner, grid slot and safety car, measured, and the history before 1985.
Six Dutch Grands Prix were held at Zandvoort after Formula 1 came back in 2021. Every one of them was won from pole.
No other circuit in our race-history series has a perfect record; the nearest, Abu Dhabi, is at twelve of seventeen. Zandvoort is narrow, banked and short, and Saturday decided every race of its modern era. Max Verstappen won the first three in front of his home crowd. McLaren won the last three. And the 2026 race, on 23 August, was the last on Zandvoort's contract: the promoters chose not to renew.
Every radio message from the modern races is in our Dutch Grand Prix radio archive, with the audio and a transcript coloured by who is speaking. The 2025 race, below, is all here.

2023: rain, a red flag, and Alonso
The 2023 race started in rain, dried, and then brought a downpour so heavy near the end that it was red-flagged. Verstappen won from pole again, his ninth win in a row, equalling the record, with Fernando Alonso second for Aston Martin and Gasly third from twelfth.
2025: Norris out, Piastri in front
Piastri won from pole in 2025, with Norris running second until an oil leak ended his race late on. On the radio:
"I don't know if I'm on fire or not." It was a heavy blow in a title fight Norris went on to win by two points, settled in Abu Dhabi. Behind Piastri and Verstappen, Isack Hadjar took his first podium for Racing Bulls; his 2026 is measured in Isack Hadjar's 2026.
2026: the last one
Norris won the final Dutch Grand Prix from pole, after a red flag on lap 2, with Kimi Antonelli and George Russell completing the podium. Fernando Alonso finished ninth, Aston Martin's best result of the season. His season is measured in Fernando Alonso's 2026, and Norris's in Lando Norris's 2026.
Before 2021
The Dutch Grand Prix was held at Zandvoort from 1952 to 1985. Jim Clark won it four times, the record. Niki Lauda won the last race of that era, in 1985, the final win of his career. Then the race left the calendar for 36 years, until the circuit was rebuilt with its banked corners and Verstappen's popularity brought Formula 1 back.
